We are seriously thinking of taking off in a class A MH full time for a year or more between selling and buying a new stick home. Wife and I really enjoy biking too.
1. One idea is to tow a full size 850lb Harley touring bike in a 10' enclosed trailer behind the MH instead of a car. Is this a bad idea? Will we really miss not having a car?
2. If I use a pickup truck to haul the bike is there a way to keep the the bike from being trashed by the weather and road grime? If I put a cover on the bike will the wind whip it around and mess up the paint?
3. Maybe putting the bike in something like a Ford Econoline van is a good idea? Can I ride a 850lb Harley touring bike up a ramp into this kind of van, I don't have a problem removing the windshield? This would give us extra storage capacity for other gear too. Is towing a van behind a MH a dumb idea?
4. Is a carrier lift attached to the back of the MH with a car in tow a better idea, again can I cover the bike and not have the wind whip the cover around and mess up the bike? Does the bike being this close to the MH prevent the wind from whipping the cover around?
Very interested in what our options are?.
Thank you.
